  abstract     = {{The relationship between the United Kingdom and Kenya is longstanding, evolving from a colonizer-colony relationship to a contemporary ‘partnership’ centered on aid processes and effectiveness. Since Kenyan independence, the UK has maintained close ties through various development initiatives. For this thesis, we have analyzed 12 development cooperation policy papers. To analyze these documents, we have conducted a discourse analysis to study the language being used within these documents. The analysis is organized into three sections, each corresponding to a distinct time period, starting from the year 2000. Critical discourse analysis serves as the principal framework, guiding the exploration, analysis, and discussion by enabling a deeper understanding of how language is used and how it in turn constructs the relationship between the UK and Kenya. The thesis argues that although UK development cooperation towards Kenya is presented as collaborative, the discourse reproduces unequal power relations through representations of expertise, governance, and development authority.}},
